We have tried pinging EVE Online website using our server and the website returned the above results. If eveonline.com is down for us too there is nothing you can do except waiting. Probably the server is overloaded, down or unreachable because of a network problem, outage or a website maintenance is in progress...

Can't Access EVE Online - Troubleshooting Instructions

If the site is UP but you cant access the page, try one of the below solutions:

Fix DNS Problems

A Domain Name System (DNS) allows a site IP address (192.168.x.x) to be identified with words (*.com) in order to be remembered more easily, like a phonebook for websites. This service is usually provided by your ISP.

Clear your local DNS cache to make sure that you grab the most recent cache that your ISP has. For Windows - (Start > Command Prompt > type "ipconfig /flushdns" and hit enter). For details choose your operating system :

If you can access a website at office or from a 3G network yet it's not working on your computer, it is a good idea to use an alternative DNS service other than your ISPs. OpenDNS or Google Public DNS are both excellent and free public DNS services.

Eve online is undr a Ddos attack And is currently under investigation.. Unknown when The Server will be back up, If you have not already tried The Back door into the game you can try (C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\bin)

logs in to hangar page, well almost -- puts the icons down the left side of screen then flashes message "socket closed" have restarted all modems, routers and computers, still same thing -- wondering if it is me? still shows 45k players online.....

They don't need to get their panties in a twist and start integrating 3rd party stuff just so we wont use 3rd party stuff... all that does is cause problems.

they tried with EVE Voice ... we STILL use TS3 or Ventrillo... They tried Twitch in the past, canned because of problems... they're trying again, and still there are PROBLEMS... thats when you say "Hey Guys... It is new years... lets roll back and not worry about integrating until we know we got dis under wraps"

Me and my buddy are stuck in a freakin' wormhole right now... my buddy was able to sign on for a second after we got kicked off and both our ships were blown up and now we are two pods floating around in wormhole space... lost about 60 mill in loot.... aggghhhhh!!!

is anyone having any problems logging on today the message I am getting is : "could not connect to the specific address odds are that you have not established an internet connection, the server isn't running, or the server address or port number was wrong."

i think i found something to take my mind off of the fact of EVE being down and not being able to play, that is to sit here and read up on everyone's opinion ! everybody has great ideas for what CCP should have done ! hindsight is 20/20

"Our engineers are close to resolving the issues on Tranquility. We aim to have have our servers live as soon as we possibly can. Thank you for your continued patience."

Looks like they're just putting a bow on it.

Avgnar -- you say 'manage' but based on your earlier limited scope of knowledge I'm hearing 'operate' and then based on your recent open admissions that you haven't a clue when it comes to network security I'm beginning to picture 'goes and gets the coffee for the boys and girls who do the heavy lifting where I work'

To Joshua. I to manage a Network cluster currently using ESXi 5.0 on our network with about 8 or so servers. But I honestly couldn't say what measures would prevent such attacks from happening because our network never touches the internet. Everything we do is offline and stays that way for the most part. Also we have other gurus that handle the security firewalls and that sort.

Well, I think they would provide that info if there were other compromises. They seem up front enough. But my question is why give exact info on what's happening if it will allow whoever is attacking them to adjust their position? Also, sounds to me like an organized effort in this case...

All of us need to remember what Alexander Pope said in 1709, "A little learning is a dangerous thing." There's two ways that statement helps.

The first is a reminder to people who think; reading about something, doing something similar but on a much smaller scale, or taking a course in that 5 years ago, makes them 'expert' in anything is false.

The other is for the rest of us to look at what people are saying about how easy it is to fix these kinds of things and think "If that is true then why haven't the paid professionals trying to fix this have it done already?' and realize perhaps the problem is not as simple as earlier commentators makes it sound.

As I said before I don't admit to knowing everything. For anyone that would might as well be dead, because then you have no room to learn or ability of wanting to learn. I am always up for expanding my knowledge.

Ok so which is then Avgnar "The fact that CCP does not have backup protocols setup to be able to quickly recover during crisis's like this then it is CCPs fault." or "but I don't know everything and I wouldn't admit to knowing everything."? Because one of those statements makes it sound like you know more than the guys at CCP handling this thing and that if they'd just put you in charge we'd all be playing by now-- the other... not so much.

No thanks. I work on an ESX cluster with 8 servers, and multiple SANs. I figured any one who knew enough about VMWare and its clustering would have to be screwing around to say some thing as stupid as you did.

Like Xavier said backups do nothing if the servers can't talk out of there own network. Remember just because you can't connect to a server does not mean it's down. It only means you and possibly other people out side of its network can't connect to it. It can be running fine on its own network.

Looks like some one needs to read the earlier comment about what a DDoS attack is if there still stupid enough to think backups will solve the problem.

Turning off ports is a stupid idea mainly because every corporate firewall already does that, and it wont do any thing any way. Learn more about how the attacks work and stop making your self look stupid. The traffic is incoming it doesn't matter if it's responded to. It's just massive enough to flood there connection. Read the article below to learn more.blog.cloudflare.com/the-ddos-that-almost-broke-the-internet

First off turning off all ports and protocols not in use. Normally in some business's as well you would block foreign country connections, but in the gaming business that would not be the case because other country do play Eve. There are other measures out there to though of preventing DDOS attacks, but I don't know everything and I wouldn't admit to knowing everything.

Depending on the type of network, it could be setup on a hourly bases or sooner depending on if it was that necessary. Live backups able to be done nowadays in our technology without anyone being there. Also with VMware technology this is much easier, and if there was any type of hardware issue on a server VMware even has VMotion were the VM's (Virtual Servers on Physical Servers) can carry over to another Physical server. But that is to much to get into really on here.

Avgnar Pureblade you sound like you have more information than the rest of us to be able to make such statements so confidently. Would you care to enlighten the rest of us as to exactly what is happening and what 'backup protocols' are necessary?

To Myr Alexander -> Folks pay for "GAME TIME" and they expect to be able to play during this period. The fact that CCP does not have backup protocols setup to be able to quickly recover during crisis's like this then it is CCPs fault.

So some of you people are demanding free SP because of this? CCP didn't do this, and no company regardless of size or infrastructure is immune (So, don't go there either). Hapless idiots. "Whaaaa! A third party attacked you and now I can't play. YOU pay me with skillpoints!" That's absurd.

Really.. What a waste, my skill completes in like 30 minutes. I'm sure that even wiping servers and recovering from backups doesn't take over 12 hours.. Because I'v personally done this myself... Even if were talking like 6 different servers..

Honestly SK wasn't that big of a deal. I had wanted to run some missions today because I don't get a lot of time off from work. Oh wells I guess League of Legends would have to suffice until they decide to do there job.

you guys ddos does not give anyone access to that kind of info, i guarentee if we were compromised ccp would let us know to cancel our shit. they dont want more lawsuits going on than need be in a moment like that. we are fine. eve IT on the other hand are currently working their asses off, ty ccp.

did I claim to know the exact detail's pertaining to DDoS. or rather people who do have a reason to know. usually in my field of work it's computer IT specialists who run DOS based diagnostics. hackers use DDOS. that's what I know. regardless it's irrelevant EVE is still down.

Agrees with Larry. It wouldn't surprise me if there was other attacks as well and they just don't want to leak that kind of information. Honestly what business would want to let there costumers know that they lost private information about there customers to outside sources?

@Racahaya Thomas : DDoS: Distributed Denial of Service attack, basically you take some 15-500+ thousand computers, and all sending information to the same ip address at once (generally the port to a server) This works because lots of little information eventually stack up, and is hard to track, compared to a lot of information from a few computers, which is really EASY to track.

C++ is a programming language- high level language used to develop code that a processor could understandDOS is a command set used to interact with the windows os from a command prompt, batch file, ect. DOS isn't actually a programming language

Joshua laugh at all of us as much as you want!! DOS attack notwithstanding, its prudent to protect yourself in this situation. The truth is the DOS is the front door attack, who knows what else has happend CCCP has not been forthcoming with information and their servers have consumers private financial information on them. If is is a simple case of a DOS attack awesome, easy fix, if it is in anyway more nefarious then prudence rules the day!

Steven, I have played EVE a long time only because it's a quality product. The core of EVE members agree... they are not losing many customers but the one who leave probably were not a good fit for the game. You don't turn your back on a good team and product when the struggle.

Granted it's a DDoS attack not a "smash-and-grab", but I do very much appreciate that they're taking the precautions just in case any information has been or would be compromised. Since it's an attack oriented to disrupt business rather than theft, I wonder if it's one of the people they got rid of.

Consider yourself stopped... any knowledgeable person would understand the risks of transmitting any personal information via the internet. This is the risk we all know and willingly take and this one attack isn't going to change that.

Because anything is possible to get around, all you can do is make it harder. Meaning either they've done a great job thus far to last this long before getting attacked or someone was just that bored to hit a game with only 500k-ish players. Either way, at least they were prompt about warning us and are actively on it this quickly.

Stop me if I'm wrong but the fact that they were compromised and did not have the security measures in place to prevent such an attack is why someone would not want to play the game? I am a IT major and even such attacks like this should scare plenty of people. All kinds of information are on those servers..

This really shouldn't have an effect on customer numbers seeing as the primary issue subscribing customers have is about the inability to play. Why would you voluntarily stop playing a game you were initially upset about not being able to play ??

as much as we have loved EVE this much drama in the last couple of days is little disconcerting... I am taking the extra step here and cancelling the credit card associated with this account (we have 3 new ones in the house) and will wait and see how it plays. Its been a great game!!

all of the people who are crying about the servers being down - shut upCCP was attacked by a criminal or criminals and they're doing the best they can to fix it. and another thing... they owe you nothing. shut up and wait, or don't wait, go play WOW or something I don't really care. its a great game and I trust the people at CCP will have it back when the time is right.

I been playing Eve on and off for about 5 years and is the best game on its class.now with that said if hackers can get in the Us secret files you think they cant mess with a game? its part of the tech era so just chill go outside for awhile while the game is back online.

Eve is down for a while so may as well jump to another game for a day or so. They were attacked pretty bad and probably have to redo the server almost completely. Even with back ups, all the date, player history from when Eve went online 10 years ago until yesterday is a formidable task. We should be pissed at those that attacked our game, not our game dev's. We are all victims and those that did this need to be found and taken out. Lucky they didn't hack your computer and took all of your information and royally fked your life up.. at least it was just a game.

Well, with the Sony attack, they didn't tell their customer base for weeks that they might have their identities compromised. I feel much safer that CCP is taking the precautions that they are and even stating they're NOT going to rush it. It's the internet age and it's bound to happen to anything at any time, I say we just be patient and let them take their time to make sure it's safe again to being the cluster online. Besides, they're responsible for the safety of our information anyway, and they already mitigated the loss of a few hours over their missile coding; I'm sure they will reimburse us somehow as this wasn't expected and I'm sure they always keep an eye on protocols, if they have this kind of rep built already per long time users. And no I'm not a long time user, I just doubt they'd be in consensus about the matter.

Time to cancel your credit cards and change your passwords on the next available uptime. Gone are the days where PCI DSS means anything other than a requirement. Hope no one gets burned because of this. Wishing CCP luck in getting this resolved.

Avgnar Pureblade is a troll and JUST created his/her Facebook page. This is the first time I can remember Eve ever being down like this. For all we know 'Avgnar' is a member of the group that took Eve down.

there is nothing more frustrating than to wait for something and not having an ETA on it. Trust me, this is the fastest way to loose a customer base. look at what happened to Sony when it was dDoSed a couple of months ago. I don't think the company managed to recover their lost customer cost.

hey everybody DON'T get frustrated.... It's an excellent game and CCP is not just gonna let their amazing creation fall by the wayside. They will have it online soon. And as far as the unplanned downtime they probably are doing it for our protection. If they are under attack, then you don't wanna be playing and be in 0 sec and get disconnected. There is no other game out there like this one. Yes I'm a little down cuz i was working on fitting my Gnosis :/ but I'm still gonna wait. And to all you newcomers, just wait it out. Don't just walk away from it. You won't know what you're missing!

I agree. This game is probably the most stable i've played so far. Those of you that just subbed to find this shit, it's definitely not a routine.. i guess your timing was a bit bad :P Hopefully it'll be solved soon.

To those that just subbed and are annoyed -- I understand your pain, but this is definitely *not* CCP's normal operating procedures. The long-time players are all in agreement that EVE has never been hit this hard by downtime, so the consensus at this point is a DOS attack from an outside source. Be patient, because CCP has been working for almost seven hours to get us back in our pods.

lol no worries I and I am sure the others here speak typonese fluently. :) and yeah game simplification is why I went looking for a new MMO myself. Hated seeing the one I played get dumbed down every year to appease a minority of players.

EVE OnlineThe Tranquility cluster has been taken offline as of 03:06 UTC in order to enable us to investigate several network issues

We apologize for this unexpected downtime, and any inconvenience it may cause. We will post more frequent updates to our Twitter account (twitter.com/eveonline), and the "TQ is open again" here on Facebook.

i played everquest 2 until they made it too easy. played startrek online for about 1 hours and never went back. eve is a game that has so many options. ive run a corp for the past 9 years ish and new stuff still happens. (apologies for any incoherent typing its almost 5am lol )

Rofl yeah I must admit the addiction level is pretty high for me as well. I have weaned myself off of Another MMO a little more each week that I have been playing for almost 5 years now. We shall leave it unnamed atm but thank god EVE was here to offer a refreshing change. :)

Sorry to hear that Chris I hope it doesn't discourage you too much tho it is a great game I am loving it so far.. Only been playing 20 days or so myself and I was in a room looting and salvaging ships from a level 3... Hope we are back up soon. :)

Heard talk of a broken undersea cable between UK and Netherlands. No idea if this is the issue, or how long it would take to resolve.
